MythTV could solve the problem, or at least limit the apparent impact of
delay when surfing.

Use three tuners at once, so the video stream for the +1 and -1 channels are
already being recorded, eliminating the buffering delay.  There would be a
slight delay while you switch the player to a new video file, but that may
be minimal compared to the buffering when changing to a new signal.

But as someone pointed out, the developers apparently don't see live TV as
that important, and I understand.  I use my system 90% with recorded stuff,
but occasionally I surf for live sports or just to veg out...
